Yeah chances are the Fire weapon enchant, primal strike, and lightning shield wont be used much for questing by me as resto. ( or at all In end game most likely ) I kinda barely used chain lightning too during questing before, FS+LB and lightning boot and pull what you need to only. Most ST mobs die fast.
Too bad primal strike doesn’t act like a primer giving more dmg to the next shock spell, or frost shock - toss a cool down on it and boom. Other than looking cool with pandaren animations it’s not useful because you are going into melee to use it.
I might keep the fire weapon enchant spell up just cause Ill have it near water shield etc ( Im bad with names ) but In all reality its kinda pointless for resto, and again were not gonna be in melee. Frostbrand woulda been better, primer with Primal strike, frost shock for nuke.
Lightning shield I miiiiht use. Though Ill most likely be questing with earth shield and using water shield full time end game between casting, cds and stuff allows, so meh.
Mana tide coming back was nice. Some tweaks to the talent tree are interesting, and Im kinda excited to test out some builds/combos.
Echoes still isnt baseline.
